Chy Intelligence. ‘Rerce Rowe oy 1 PurLapeurais Prumexy.—The mem- ers of Hope Hose Company No. 7, of Philadelphia, with @eir steam fire engine, returned home yesterday by the Qamden and Amboy boat at 4 P.M. They were escorted to the boat by a deputation of the New York Fire Depart- ment, who cordially bade them adieu at the wharf. Dur- fmg the morning the Philadelphians were taken to the Mavy Yard, where they spent a couple of hours very pro- eatly. Altogether the visiting company have no reason ‘Wo regret their coming. They were most cordially receive ‘nd entertained, ant during their visit wey uve done muchrto disabuse the New York firemen of the prejudice Uhey had formed agains: stoam fire engines. They have shown that it was possible to keep up the yoluntary asso- dations with these engines, and hence they are likely soon te become popular. Mr. Peto, the foreman of the Ho Hore, was presented with an elegant silver trumpet by ladies of New York on Tuesday night. ‘Tee Rows or rue Crystal PaLack.--About fifty men are wow employed by the city authorities, under the supervi- ston of Mr, H. J. Davison, engineer, breaking up and as- worting the fron, cast and wrought, which once coustituted the bone and sinew of the Crystal Palace. Mr. 1. seemed earcful over the property of the exhibitors, watching eloeely the employés, and guarding what remained from dhe thoughtless and careless drive of the sledge hammer, ue or two engines, he thinks, will be recovered withou very extensive damage. The cast iron is being weighed by Burdett and Titus, and cast aside, at convenient places, tate bois Of tive tons each. The wrought iron wili be sepa rated into clasees—round, flat and ornamental——and into of one, two, five and ten tons, to suit purchasers. ep Ba oat ‘of the irou, from the excessive heat and ervshing fail of the dome and girders, renders the separa. téon and breaking up and weighing a slow process, but it is caictilated that in 4 mouth irom now the work will have ‘Deen accompl: Mr. Jobn S, Betts, of Gerard, Betts & Co. is appointed to sell by auction the whole, about the 20th or 25th of Novemuber. ‘The proceeds of the sale are expecied to reach bev $30,000 and $40,000, The liti- gation between the city autuorities and the old Crysial Palace Association not having yet terminated, the money will be placed in the hands of Wie City Chamberlain, and by Dim deposited in-some trust company pending the tertnina- ton of the suit. This sum, the $60,000 of insurance, which will be paid at the termination of the suit, and $25,000, which is considered the marketable value of the irou rail- fag, doors, &e., around the grounds, will bring into the ands of the receiver, should the suit be decided against he city, about as much as will discharge the claims ef the bondholders, which amounts to $120,000. It iw likewise rumored that the American Institute are mak- tng a dig effort to cet a long lease of the ground from the ey to rear upon ita permanent building for exhibition. @nesT PeMALE PRDESTHIAN MATCH—WALKING THE PLANK voR $100.—The long talked of pedestrian match between ‘Mrs. Lambert, alias Flora Temple, of Boston, and Mrs. Martha Buckley, alias Prioress, of Lynn, commenced yes- torday at Montgomery Hall, No. 76 Prince street. Flora and Pricress were, before meeting one day last week in this city, personally strangers to eacl other, Flora has, by ber feats of walking and waking endurance, added to her pile something near $600, and held a kind of “cham- Pronship” over the fair sex. In Portland last spring she gained ‘the beit”’ for walking fifty hours consecutively, and last winter, in Boston, she gained $250 for walking sixty bours. Till the appearance of Prioress, her laurels bave been undisputed, the latter hav ng accomplished the same feat of walking sixty hours well last winter, apd gained $150. The present maicu is intended to test their endurance. The terms of agreement being “to walk plank thirty feet long, three feet wide, and raised three feet above the floor. we one that sits down, goes to sleep, Or falls off frst to lose the stake—$100."" AL noon yomerday, Mr Grinnell, the referee, informed the ladies their dressing room that “time was up,” and out walk. ed Flora and Prioress in all the giory of Bloomerism. Shaking bands cordially, ala prize ring, they took the Plank, and moved offal the rate of one and a half miles an hour. Flora’s costume bears close resembiance to ‘the English jockey—biue velvet jockey cap, with silver Braid; the basque and skirt of brown merino, trimmed with ‘Dive ribbon. A fancy sash passes over from the right shoulder to the left waist, and down to the knee, in all the ory of crimson tasseis. Kings, breastyin and some stars giittering on the sash over the right breast, with a mas. sive watch chain dangling in front, constitute the adorn ment of the upper woman. The continuations mre encased in ribbed woollen skin tights, ter- minating with fancy socks and heeliess jeather caiters. Prioress wears a bloomer hat, with «small black feather fw fron ; black silk basque, with French tri-colored sash passing from the right waist to the left shoulder, and ter mipating there with some knotty fixings. Over a brown ‘Merino skirt Khe bas passed some dashing crimson gauze. ‘The continuations are in flesh colored skin Uights, and ap- Proaches somewhat the mode! artist. Flora is of very short stature aud chubby, weighing 110 Ibs., a little dark complexion, twenty five years of age, and no doubt a charming “‘lassie’’ to ber lord. Prioress is a little taller ‘aad of fair complexion, twenty-two years of age, not 80 Ftoot in appearance and so likely to stand the fatigue ae the other; her walking weight yesterday was 120 Ibs, Both have undergone a regular system of training during ‘the ast six weeks to bring them ‘into condition,’ some- thing akin to tho preparations through which pass the prize tighter. They have had their waiks, their running, ‘Weir baths, “beef eveaks rare done,’’ and their sherry moderately. They commenced at noon yesterday, and BO accident occurring, are likely t coutinue til) some fume on Saturday. Luring that me ten minutes, three times per day, is allowed them for refreshment; but that has also to be taken in a standing posture and with eyes open.

The woman turned aside and escaped the blow, but, unfortunately, the Stick descended upon the head of an infant child she had im her arms, killing it almost instantly. The father was horror stricken at what had occurred, and when the po: hoe entered the premises he was weeping bitterly at the reeult of his rash folly. He quietly delivered himself up to the officers to await the action of the Coroner. AccpENtaL DmaTs ON & Taker Excramox —A young man named Michael J.

The idea is, at the proprietors ought to have some tangible voucher for the proportion of capital extinguished by the sale of the company’s enormous landed property. The distribution of “cancelled bond scrip’ about to be made will be equivalent tw $5 per share, and the Lew paper, as ting a portion of the company’s capital, will probably command a value in the market. ‘The latest advices per Europa will be found under the telegraphie head. The movement in the stock market continues to gain strength. Atan early hour this morning the market was absolutely rampant; and though, afver the morning orders had been filled, there was a reaction, and, prices fell otf, the indications of a steady speculative movement for the rise were none the leas apparent. After a stagnation of over six months the unprecedented abundance of money is driving men of means into the stock market. That large clase of persons who are in the habit of deriving an income from discounting mercantile paper bave been dis- appointed by the smallness of the fall trade; they, like most of the merehants, discern that they have no alterna- tive but either to live on their capital or to take the chance of an operation in stocks. That many of them are deciding in favor of the latter is, how- ever, it may be regretted, simply natural, so long a8 money remats at 4 per cent. The possessor of a thou- sand dollars, who, at the present moment, purchases a hundred ehares of any leading stock, will make a handsome thing if he holds it six months for two per cent ad- vance. Of course, of the persons who thus purchase stocks on speculation not one in twenty will make his small profit and retire content, Ninetoon of the score will increase their purchases beyond the bounds of pru- dence, and lose their money to the operators in Wall street. But the fascination of gambling in stocks, the ex- ample of sudden gains, the absolute impossibility of find ing profitable ermployment for money, are, with the ave- rage men of small means, too powerful to be resisted by abstract principles or deductions from experience; and should the present gradual upward movement continue but a few days longer, people must not be surprised if the scenes-of February last are renewed; if Wall strect is again thronged with eager speculators from every class and every grade of society; if we hear of sudden fortuncs and extraordinary strokes of luck; and if, at last, the hindmost in the blind race after cheap wealth are over- taken by the reaction, and instead of winning other peo- ple’s money, lose their own. State stocks were the first to feel the effect of the orders for investment this morning. Missouris improved A per cent, with large sales; Virginias 1 per cent, Tenmessecs 44; Californias (new issue), 134; Indiana fives were steady, North Carolina sixes improved 4; the government fives of 1874 were steady at last quotations. There can be no better investment for moncy at the present time than such undoubted securities as California, Virginia, ‘Tenuessee and the other State securities at present on the market. The railroad bond market was active. The Michigan eights, which are selling at 86 in London, rose to 96 here to-day, being 1 per cent over yesterday’s price; Iijinois Central rose \%; Harlem firsts 34; Michigan South ern sinking fand bonds 1 per cent; while other descrip- tions were steady. The business in bank stocks was well distributed, but no advance in price took place; indeed, shares in Ocean Bank and Bank of America are quoted lower than a few days since. It is certain that banks are not making money epongh at present to justify exorbitant prices for the shares ; but they have this advantage over railroads, they are not apt either to cook their reports, or, in bard times, to be caught with unsuspected floating debts. The coal stocks were generally quict to-day ; Pennsylvania was 3; per cent higher. Among the railroad stocks Rock Island was the mort active today. A leading bear is understood to have just takeu iu is shorts ; the bulls took advantage of the fact to create a demand for stock, which put the price to 69— ‘an advance of 4 —before the first board, It touched 6934, but subsequently reacted to 684%, at which price it was firm. New York Central opened very strong at an ad- vance of nearly 1 per cout; but after some 3,000 shares had changed hands at the advance, it reacted and closed 3X lower, The Michigan shares were quieter to-day. Central rose 1 per cent, but reacted, closing 4 per cent higher than yesterday. Southern pre ferred opened %y higher than yesterday, but fell off; this afternoon it is dull at iy below yesterday's price. It seems that the “guarantee” on this stock makes it « sort of bond, on which the company are boun to pay ten per cent, whether they carp it or no, and that the holders may sell the company out if the whole sum be not paid. This will be @ pleasant discovery for the holders of the common stock. Reading was very dull to-day, and about 1 per cent lower.
